In December 1744, he married Albany native Anna
Yates. She died after two children and about 1750, he wed Wyntie Vandenbergh.
By 1760, that marriage added three more children - all of whom were christened
at the Albany Dutch church.

This Gerrit Lansing was a carpenter
who lived in the third ward. In 1748,
he also was identified as a cooper
when he witnessed the will
of his friend, Benjamin Van Vechten. Gerrit was a qualified voter whose
property was accorded substantial assessments
during the mid-1760s.

His name was found on city government accounts. In 1757, he was paid
for repairing the fire engine.

After the 1760s, the name of Gerrit G. Lansing, the middle-aged Albany woodworker, dropped from
Albany rolls. We must table this sketch as the existence of other same-named
individuals raises many questions.
